"i surrender, im surrounded by my mind. and as the white flag gently waves, it spirits me away. i raise my hands 'cause i can't awake my voice. im hemmed in once again by the sweet uncertain." goes the song sweet uncertain by Braddigan. sometimes we do feel surrounded, trying to understand God. we get so caught up trying to figure out things that are hopelessly unfigurable (check righteoustified under "life on purpose"). little do we realize sometimes that impossibility is the very nature of God. impossibility to understand, to comprehend, to put in a nice little box ("as the heavens are above the earth..."). sometimes we need to raise that white flag and rest in the fact that we do serve a God who is way more than we can understand. one thing ive noticed about the way we describe God is the word "wonderful" comes up a lot. the first definition that would come up for "wonderful" is mostly a simple synonym for "good" or "great." while this is a common misconception, this is one of the truest things about God; He is full of wonder. the beauty of God is the mystery of God. "won't you come and fill this place..."

I'm blown away! This is so profound and meaningful and I have been thinking some of the same things. The illustration is striking and perfectly identifies the feeling of the unattainable knowledge of God.
we (your mom, me, and whoever else was listening in) were talking about you at Bible study today ... well, before Bible study :] this blog is such an encouragement!
